Ruby in Fuchsite from Mundarara Mine, Tanzania

Ruby in Fuchsite specimens

Ruby in Fuchsite is a fairly well known mineral combination, consisting of corundum in a glittering green Fuchsite. The corundum is typically UV reactive, and the fuchsite typically is not - meaning a piece can have several bright pink glowing spots under UV light.

In some cases, the ruby is very difficult to see without UV light; in some cases it is very obvious.

Our current stock comes from the famous Mundarara Mine, Longido District, Arusha Region, Tanzania.
